All The Features That Hunters Expect

The new PROSTAFF 5 4.5-18x40 features several technology upgrades that will satisfy even the most demanding hunters. A bright new optical system, remarkable hand-turn reticle adjustments with Spring-Loaded Zero-Reset turrets, and a convenient quick-focus eyepiece with a 4x zoom ratio, make adjustments while in a shooting position a breeze. The PROSTAFF 5 4.5-18x40 outfitted with the Mildot reticle can be utilized in both long and short range hunting situations and can be used with Nikon Spot On Ballistic Match Technology to take the guesswork out of compensating for bullet drop. With enough power for the longest-range shots, the PROSTAFF 5 4.5-18x40 will keep you on target even when shooting through thick brush and timber. This is one scope you can truly count on in any situation. In addition all PROSTAFF 5 riflescopes are built with fully multicoated optics for maximum light transmission, even in extreme low light environments.

Mildot Reticle

A great choice of reticle for shooters who wish to engage targets at various yardages without having to make on-the-fly adjustments to their elevation settings - the mildot reticle makes it possible to make elevation adjustments by simply using the various aiming points built directly into the reticle itself.

Generous, Consistent Eye Relief

Keeps your brow safe—even with the heaviest recoiling cartridges, lightweight rifles, and severe shooting angles. Long eye relief, also known as high-eyepoint design, provides a clear field of view for everyone, even when wearing eye protection.

Fully Multicoated Optical System

Multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds on every glass surface provide bright and vivid sight pictures and optimum light transmission and maximum brightness from dawn to dusk.

Hand-turn 1/8 MOA Adjustments

Reticle adjustments are made in 1/8 MOA click-stop moves you can both feel and hear, and with no backlash to make your shot creep off target. Positive click reticle adjustments get you zeroed in quicker and maintain your setting—even with repeated recoil and under rugged conditions.

Spring-Loaded Instant Zero-Reset Turrets

To simplify field adjustments, Nikon has integrated this feature into all new PROSTAFF 5 riflescopes. Just sight-in as usual, then lift the spring-loaded adjustment knob, rotate to your “zero”, and reengage. Field adjustments are now as simple as dialing-in your subsequent ranges.

Spot On Ballistic Match Technology

Custom precision at your fingertips

The PROSTAFF 5 series, like all of Nikon’s riflescopes, are optimized for use with Nikon Spot On Ballistic Match Technology. Spot On allows you to discover all of the exact aiming points on your scope’s reticle at various yardages for your specific ammunition and load.

Quick Focus Eyepiece

Allows the shooter to instantly bring the reticle into sharp focus.

Waterproof/Fogproof/Shockproof

Nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for confidence under the toughest of conditions.
